size and shape, and are sometimes densely white-tomentose under- 

 neath, and sometimes loosely tomentose and barely paler under- 

 neath. 



Boronia Fraseri, Hook., varies little in all the stations from 

 which we have seen it, from Menangle to the Hawkesbury River, 

 and is really only the extreme glabrous form of B. mollis; the 

 Coff's Harbour specimens are a connecting link between the two 

 species; they have almost as perfectly glabrous leaves as B. Fraseri 

 and resemble this species in habit, but they have the tomentose 

 branches of B. mollis. We do not propose to unite B. Fraseri 

 with B. mollis, because if all species were to be united between 

 which isolated connecting links could be found, extensive changes 

 would have to be made in Australian botanical nomenclature. 

 We, however, desire to draw attention to the very close relation- 

 ship of the two species. 



Boronia ledifolia, J. Gay, var. repanda, F.v.M. in Herb. 



Stanthorpe, Queensland, on the borders of New South Wales 

 (J. L. Boorman; July, 1904). 



This well-marked variety is distinguished from the typical 

 simple-leaved form by the leaves having a slightly undulate 

 recurved margin, much similar to that in Eriostemon difformis or 

 E. hispidulus, only less repand and tuberculate than in the for- 

 mer and more so than in the latter. It is an erect shrub about 

 two feet high. Leaves 3 to 4 lines long, always simple in the 

 specimens seen, not white underneath, but sparingly stellate- 

 hairy. Flowers like the type. Our specimens from Stanthorpe 

 are identical with specimens in the Melbourne Herbarium from 

 Maryland, between New South Wales and Queensland, collected 

 by E. Hickey (no date) and labelled by Mueller '' B. ledifolia, 

 var. repanda.''' The variety has not been published previously, 

 as far as we are aware, and we recommend the adoption of 

 Mueller's manuscript name for it. 



Boronia falcifolia, A. Cunn. 



Stanthorpe, Queensland, near New South Wales border (J. L. 

 Boorman; July, 1904).
